Member Function Documentation

static final String com.graeff.pwencode.MD5Crypt.crypt (  String  password, String  salt )  [static]

This method actually generates a OpenBSD/FreeBSD/Linux PAM compatible md5-encoded password hash from a plaintext password and a salt. The resulting string will be in the form '$1$<salt>$<hashed mess> Parameters: password  Plaintext password salt  A short string to use to randomize md5. May start with $1$, which will be ignored. It is explicitly permitted to pass a pre-existing MD5Crypt'ed password entry as the salt. crypt() will strip the salt chars out properly. Returns: An OpenBSD/FreeBSD/Linux-compatible md5-hashed password field.
